Day One

Whew...Day One flew by in a blur. After arriving seemingly early about 8am at the Pilgrim Reception Center to register with 400 of our newsest closest friends, it was mid-day. The Ferdowsi's from Nashville are here, too!

We had just a little time for Brian to escort Paula, Dustin, Ethan and the three of us (Geo was off on an errand) to the Hadar district for some great falafel (yep, we'll have a lot of that while we're here), and while we waited for the food everyone tried to decompress a little.

The rest of the day was spent in orientation, then quality time at the Shrine of the Bab, read, meditate, say prayers, and rest up at the Pilgrim House adjacent to the Shrine.

Tomorrow will start early with a visit to Bahji...but I get a little ahead of myself. More tomorrow.:-)
